  Speaker 1: But you know it is Friday. You hear the drums,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you hear the bass, you hear the horns. You know
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: what it's time for. Where it's gonna start them? Send
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: them show glad you could be here. My name is
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Marcus Grant. He is Michael F. Florio. We're gonna talk
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: about starts. And since it's in the title of the show,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: we have reached double digit weeks of the Fantasy season.
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: It's kind of amazing.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: It's both amazing and like a blur all at the
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: same time.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: It is. It is also still a reminder that we
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: still have like two more months left of this thing.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: There's still like eight weeks left in this season, so
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: for as far as we have gone, we still almost
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: have that much far to go. But we are going
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: to get through a whole lot of things. We're gonna
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: do the top starts in six of week ten, we're
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: gonna tell you who's gonna pile up the points. Plus
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: we're gonna help you deal with all these mid season
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: injuries that I'm sure are driving you nuts because they
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: are driving us nuts. But first let's look at some starts.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: And since you can, of course read all of Florio's starts,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: and since at NFL slash start sit, see how that works.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Let's look at some quarterbacks for this week. Who's up
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and who is down.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: I'm starting Dak Prescott. Look, I know Jared Goff is
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: an indoor cat, but he's basically gonna have a home
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: game against the Chargers, so start him. I'm not sitting
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: the best rookie quarterback in quite some time in CJ.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Stroud.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Brock Purty is back off the by and back into
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: your lineup, and I'm willing to give Geno Smith one
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: more chance this week because of the matchup. My sits
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Kyler Murray. I'm excited he is back, but I think
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: he's a sit. Sam Hall just because the Seahawks secondary
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: has been so strong as of late, and that is
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: a tough place to play, Deshaun Watson because Ravens and
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Jordan Love because Will himself.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go. That's that's pretty much all you
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: got to say about that one. Let's go back, though,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: to the brock Purty because the Niners a little bit
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: on the struggle bus right now. They've lost three in
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: a row. Brock Purty has not played particularly well on paper.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: The Jaguars force a lot of turnovers, which is sort
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: of worrisome, but I guess on the upside, it looks
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: like Deebo Samuel's back, which also helps.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, his number when Deebo plays compared to when he
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: doesn't are much better. Plus, I mean, he has topped
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: eighteen Fantasy points in four of his last six games.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I know there was two down ones there, but overall,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: this is a quarterback I think you could trust on
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: an offense that you can one hundred percent trust. And
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: don't overlook the fact that he's been averaging like close
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: to forty rushing yards per game in his last three weeks.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: That is huge. That was actually the most amongst quarterbacks
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: in that span. And then the jack struggle against the
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: pass a little bit, They're gonna put up points of
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: their own. I think this is a week where it
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: could be a little bit of a back and forth game,
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: and you want to start both of those quarterbacks.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: It be a very interesting game to watch for sure.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Side note, all of Brock Perty's interceptions this season have
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: come with Deebo Samuel not available for the forty nine ers,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: so we'll see if that changes things for Perty this week.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: On the other side, we have been waiting all of
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: this time for Kyler Murray to come back and play.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: He's excited about it. I know. Head coach Jonathan gannons like,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: don't expect to see the previous Kyler Murray, at least
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: not yet. And Kyler's like, whatever, man, I'm doing it.
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: He's gonna Leroy Jenkins and just run out there. But
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: you're saying that we should at least wait one more
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: week before we start him. I think so.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: I mean, you got by nine weeks without Kyler Murray already,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of good streaming options this week,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: so what's one more week. The way I look at
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: it is, you said, Kyler Murray, if he plays well
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: on your bench, you have a starter the rest of
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: the way that you could plug into your lineup. But
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: last season and in his career, thirty percent of his
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Fantasy points have come on the ground.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: What he gives you with his legs.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I'm not so sure we're going to see Kyler Murray
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: running as much as he normally does first game back
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: off of the ACL. And don't forget that last year
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: he averaged the fewest Fantasy points per game since his
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: rookie year, had the lowest passyards per game in his career.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: But again Gino Smith, there's Baker Mayfield, Will Levis, Brock Purdy,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Josh Jobbs. There's good streaming options this week, which means
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: I think you could be patient with Kyler.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: So if you are stashing Kyler, you can stash him
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: for one more week. But something to note throughout his career,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: he's always been a top seven fantasy quarterback in terms
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: of points per game. So maybe wait one more week,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: but then maybe you take the leash off and you
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: let Kyler Murray go when he's back in your lineup.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: Those are the guys throwing the football. Let's look at
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: some of the guys who will be catching the football.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Who are your starts and sits.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: At wide receiver, Christian Kirku just dominates against his own coverage,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: gets a lot of that against the Niners. DeAndre Hopkins
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: has looked like a new hut receiver With Will Levis there,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: He's very much so in play. Michael Pittman Junior in
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: a great matchup, so much volume goes his way. Tyler
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: Lockett because the Seahawks matchup cannot get any better. This week,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Tank Dell very much so in play as well. My
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: sits Christian Watson because Jordan love Zay Flowers has a
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: very tough matchup against the Browns, and talk about tough matchups,
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Jakobe Myers has the toughest matchup for a receiver against
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: the Jets, and then Johan Dotson or Johann Dotson just
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: because again the Seahawks secondary has been very good.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Seahawks secondary has been very good. But let's talk about
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Tank Dell because he was the wide receiver one last week,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a recipient of the huge that CJ. Stroud had, and
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: no Nico Collins this week. On paper, it's not necessarily
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: an easy matchup against the Bengals, but volume seems to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: be in play here as well.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: And that's the thing, and I wrote about it in
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: the article, like when you have an offense this young
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: of rookie quarterback and now a rookie wide receiver one
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: with no Nico Collins, there there's gonna be volatility. Lou
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: On Aurramo is a great defense coordinator, makes life tough
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: on quarterbacks, but the Texans have completely abandoned the run.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: I think they're gonna have to throw to keep up
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: with Joe Burrow and that Bengals offense, and Dell is
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: just going to get a lot of volume, as I
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: believe the top target for CJ. Stroud this week. He's
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: already top twenty Fantasy points three times. Again, I just
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: think the upside is far too high for a week
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: with all these buys and injuries and all that. Like
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I'm starting Noah Brown in a couple of places, I'd
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: be ecstatic to have Tank Dell as an option.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, if you got Tank Dallas is a week to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: get him in there. Side note, I also really like, well, well,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: we'll say, maybe we get to tight ends a little
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: bit later and I will hold on. That's called the tease.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: That's called the teas, folks get on board with it.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Let's keep another wide receiver in focus here, and that
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: is Christian Kirk going against the forty nine ers. Normally
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: we look at the forty nine ers, We're like, I
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: don't want any part of that. But Christian Kirk seems
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: like a really viable option this week. Yeah.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: And I mean the forty nine ers. As great as
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: their defense was the first few weeks of the season,
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: as of late, they have been struggling against the pass.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: And I think that boats well for Christian Kirk, but
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: I got to it a little bit earlier. He thrives
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: against zone coverage. He is the Jaguars leader in every
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: passing stat receiving stet I mean against zone coverage. He
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: has over one hundred more yards than anyone else on
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the team. The forty nine ers run zone coverage seventy
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: seven percent of the time. League average is seventy one.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: So in a game where I think the Jacks could
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: struggle to establish the run, maybe they throw a little
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: bit more. Christian Kirk is the wide receiver to feel
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: good about this week, not Calvin Ridley.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: He's gotten a lot of looks from Trevor Lawrence, and
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: he runs routes in that area of the field where
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the forty nine ers have been vulnerable. If they can
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: get some good matchups, even against those good Niner linebackers,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: I think Christian Kirk can have himself a really nice
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: day this week. We are just getting started here. We
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: have plenty more to do on this show. We will
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: talk about some running backs and tight ends, plus we
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: go behind the velvet ropes, get into Club dub stick
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: around for more. The STARTAM SITAM show starts at running
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: backs for week ten.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: Go trusting the falcon and Bjon Robinson. What could go
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: wrong is not white very much. So in play against
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: the Titans, who struggled against the run Ramadre Stevenson, they're
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: throwing him the ball more and that is all that matters.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: So he's a start James Cook just because of the matchup,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: giving him one more chance. My sits the Gus Buss,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Gus Edwards is a sit both well, it doesn't look
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: like Damian Pierce is gonna play, but Devin Singletary is
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: a sit, as is Kareem Hunt for me. And then
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: that other spot was for the Panthers running backs. I
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: will that one worked out him worked out.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, nobody was starting Cuba Hubbard or Miles Sanders anyway.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: So I think you're in the clear there. All right,
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: let's let's just get this out of the way. We
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: gotta talk about Jon Robinson because here's the thing. Jeon
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Robinson is good at football. We all know he's good
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: at football. I think even Arland Smith knows that he's
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: good at football. But because Arthur Smith is playing like
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: seven dimensional chess, you have to play Bajon Robinson. But
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: that doesn't mean that we can't start Bjon Robinson.
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: My favorite thing in the week was Arthur Smith came
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: out and was like, Tyler Elzier is one of the
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: best goal on running backs in the league, and the
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: fantasy community was like, yeah, look at all these stats
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: that show that Robinson is better on the goal line
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: and better in short yard situations. You can never trust
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Arthur Smith to do the right thing, But I don't
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: think that matters this week, even unlimited touches, I think
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: Bejeon Robinson should be able to have a very good game.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: The Cardinals are in the top three and Fantasy Points
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: allowed two running backs this season. Since Week five, they've
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: allowed the second most rushing yards to the position. Beijon
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: gets involved a bit in the passing game as well.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: My bold prediction this week is Bijeon has his first
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: career game with one hundred yards and a touchdown. That
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: should have happened in like week three, not Week ten.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: But I'll take it.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: When I can get it. I mean, this week we
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: had Arthur Smith saying that Bijeon has value, you know,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: because he opens up space when he is away from
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the ball, or you could give him the ball and
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: let him be really good at what he does, which
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: is run and catch and score touchdowns. But you know
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: what do I know? I just talk about fake football
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: for a living.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I love Arthur Smith's drafting Bijon Robinson and using him
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: like a three and D NBA player.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: Right exactly. Geez, sorry, just throw me completely off my game.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Gus Edwards against the Browns. I mean, Gus has been great,
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: scoring touchdowns. He's actually been a really top level PPR
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: running back for the last couple of weeks.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: But dot Browns, Yeah, that's the whole thing for me
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: is and as good as Gus Edwards has been lately,
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: a lot of it has come because of the touchdowns
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: that he has scored.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: He has five touchdowns in his last two games combined,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: and the Browns on the year have allowed two rushing
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: touchdowns to running backs, just three total to the position.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: And the thing is in games without a touchdown this year,
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Gus Edwards has yet to top seven Fantasy points. But
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: I will say you have to monitor Keat and Mitchell
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: here because a big part of why I had the
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Gus Buss park this week was because I was like,
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: it's three running back committee against a team that really
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: struggles that really stops the run. But if Mitchell is out,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: I think that puts Gus a.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Little bit more in play. Yeah, I mean, I think
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: Gus has that touchdown upside. But understand that the number
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: of touches is not going to be big because you
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: do have three guys sharing them and the Browns very
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: stingy against running backs. Let's get to the tight ends
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: because everybody needs help at tight end, especially this week
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: with Travis Kelsey off. Everybody needs help it tight end.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: So whe are your starts and sets?
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Dalton kin kid, I'm just riding the hot hand there.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: Speaking of riding the hot hand, there's no hotter hand
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: right now than Taysom Hill. The only tight end with
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: more Fantasy points than last month is Travis Kelce. Dalton
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Schultz is in play, and I think Kate Outen a
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: good streaming option this week. My sits. It pains me
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: to say, but Kyle Pitts because Arthur Smith, you just
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: gotta start John Hi Smith if you're starting anyone there.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: David Njoku, Michael Mayer, and Juwan Johnson are my tight ends,
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: all right.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: So we got the whole overview there, Let's dive into
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: some guys individually. Dalton Schultz, I'm look week to week
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: the numbers can be up and down a little bit
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: over the course of the season. He's turning out to
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: be a tight end one, and with no Nico Collins,
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: it feels like a lot more targets could come his way.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, speaking of tight end one, he was the tight
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: end one last week, scoring twenty seven Fantasy points. He
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: ran a team high thirty four routes, had eleven targets,
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: ten catches, and one hundred and thirty yards. He is
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: a touchdown in four of his last five games, and
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: in all four of those games he has top thirteen
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: fantasy points three times has gone over sixteen. The floor
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: is low, but here's the thing about every tight end
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: not named Travis Kelce. They bring a low floor, but
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: the is very high. With Dalton Schultz, he's getting more involved.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: It's a good matchup as the Bengals have allowed the
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: second most fantasy points per game to tight ends. Plus,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: like Marcus said, probably more volume with no Nico Collins.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: So Dalton Schultz is on the up and we get
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the rare and elusive double Dalton in this When we
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: go from Dalton Schultz to Dalton Kinkaid, who at this
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: point is feeling like a weekly must start.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, at some point, probably next week, it's going to
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: become too obvious to include Dalton Kincaid as a start,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: because you're gonna be like, yeah, I know, what else
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: did I do with this guy? But he led the
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Bills last week in routes, targets, and catches, was second
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: in yards. I know he had a costly fumble, but
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: he is still getting used a whole lot in the
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: red zone. And since the nineteen seventy merger that is
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: fifty three years ago, he has more catches in three
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: games a three game span by any tight end than
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: any other tight end ever. And it's just the second
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: tight end with at least five catches and at least
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: fifty yards in three straight games. So he's riding very hot.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: He has a good matchup against the Broncos have allowed
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: most fantasy points that tight ends.
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he is a mustard, right yea, Dalton and Kaid
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: finally coming around and becoming the guy we thought he
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: could be when the Bills drafted him. Also, just a
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: reminder that if guys don't pop in the first month
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: of the season. It does not mean they are busts,
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: just you know, like like like as Ventura once said,
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: if I'm not back in five minutes, just wait longer.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: That's all We gotta go with that, all right. You know,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: we do have another game in Germany this week. Sunday
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: Morning Football is back for an encore in Frankfurt, Germany,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: exclusively on NFL Network. Watch with the world is the
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: Colts face off against the Patriots. Rise, Shine, and watch
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, November twelfth at nine thirty a m. Eastern
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: only on NFL Network and streaming on NFL Plus. It's
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: time now for clib These the guys we guarantee will
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: score at least twenty five Fantasy points this week. So,
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: speaking of that game in Germany, you like one of
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: those guys this week?
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Michael Pittman Junior are as I would call him, must
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: start Pittman Junior this week. Look, the volume is simply
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: too good to get away from. He has double digit
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: targets in five games already this season, and he's scored
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: double digit Fantasy points in all but one game, including
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: at least fourteen in four straight And you might fear,
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: you know, the narrative that Bill Belichick takes away the
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: opposing team's best weapon. Unless Bill is lining up opposite
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: of Michael Pittman Jr.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna be able.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: To stop him this week, as the Patriots have allowed
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: the fifth most yards and second most touchdowns two receivers
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: since Week five.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: I would play money to see Bill Belichick lineup OPO,
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: said Michael Pittman Junior. I just would like to see it,
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: that's all. I'm gonna go with Tony Pollard going against
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants this week. And I know
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: it's been an up and down ride, mostly down for
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: a lot of Tony Pollard managers this season. But he's
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: got the Giants and his best game of the season
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: came against the Giants. That was back in Week one.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: I think he's gonna have another big week this week.
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: The Giants have given up thirteen rushing touchdowns, at his
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: third most in the NFL. Think this is going to
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: be another one sided contest, so you'll see Pollard get
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: plenty of touches and I truly believe this is the
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: week that his touchdown drought ends. So if you've been
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: rocking with Tony Pollard, cheer up. I think the next
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks things get better for him. This week
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: it's the Giants, next week it's the Panthers. So everybody
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: who's been frustrated, I think can get at least a
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: little bit of relief for the next couple of weeks.
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Stick around, because we are going to help you replace
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: some injured players that you might be struggling with on
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: your respective squads. We will dive into the medical tint
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: coming up on the Stardom Sodum Show, joined as we
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: always are about this time by Lakwan Jones, who's wearing
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: a normal shirt today. What happened? We're going laundry or something. Yeah,
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: it's laundry week. Don't buy it loud shirts only, nah,
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: So like he does actually have non loud shirts in
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: the wardrobe. That's good to know. We are doing a
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: little thing we're calling the medical Tint's what it says
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: here on the screen. Because you probably, like everybody in
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: your league, is dealing with injuries across your fantasy rosters.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: So we're going to talk about some guys that you
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: may have to sit because of injury and some potential
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: options to replace them. So Florida. Let's start in Houston.
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: We talked about Tank Dell, we talked about Dalton Schultz,
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: and the reason we like those guys this week, at
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: least partially, is because Nico Collins is gone.
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, unfortunately I need to pull Nico Collins from a
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: few of my lineups, as I'm sure many of you
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: out there do so. Rashid Shaheed is a name that
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: you could grab off the waiver wire to replace Collins
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: or any of your players on buy this week, Shade
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: dominates the deep ball usage in New Orleans and the
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: vikings have allowed They're in the top seven and deep
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: yards allowed to receive yours top five and just regular
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: yards allowed to the position. And Shaheed is like, look,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: he could get you three Fantasy points or he could
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: literally match Tyreek Hill's production for a week. Like that's
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: just the kind of player he is.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I mean, Lakwan, he's sort of the he's one of
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: those better and best ball kind of guys. Yeah. But
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: weirdly where Derek Karr kan't even connect with Chris o'lave.
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: On the balls, I mean, he's getting it done, and
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: these guys the big playability. You would think Chris o'lavo
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: would be the plug and play guy there, but things
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: are just happening with Rashid Shaheed, so it's like you
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: got to go with the guy that's going to be
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: making the big plays. And like Florio said, he could
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: have a Tyreek Hill like week, I nothing.
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's I think when it first started happening,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: you're like, oh, hey, that was kind of nice, but
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: he's still sort of boom er bust, and now it
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: keeps happening, you're sort of like, all right, well, maybe
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: this is a thing.
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's a perfect marriage of because you got Derek Carr,
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: who's great at the deep ball. So again you would
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: think it would be Chris Olive to get those touchdowns increased,
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: but looks like the perfect marriages with Rashid.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: So never would have thought that was gonna have it.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: But but here we are with ten. Just when we
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: thought everything was right with the Bengals offense and guys
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: are starting to get healthy, te Higgins shows up with
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a hamstring injury. He has been ruled out for this week.
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: So what should folks be doing?
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: I mean, I would like to pivot to somebody that's
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: on the same offense. You can go with IRV Smith.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: I mean it is a big body target where you
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: can target him downfield, makes the athletic catches. I mean
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: he's a guy that has a huge red zone president
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: as well. I mean he found the end zone last week.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: I've always been a swerve and irving type of guy,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: so I was happy he was able to get in
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: the end zone again. But he his target share should increase,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: which more Chase anti Higgins both banged right now. One
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: can only assume that. But it's nasty work out there
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: on the wire, so you kind of don't have that
• 18:24
  Speaker 4: many options. So why not pick up a guy that's
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: on an offense that's proven that can go downfield and
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: put some points on the board.
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know how I feel about this, Florio.
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: Can we finally hashtag let IRV Swerve?
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: When Lacwan said it, I was like, oh, We've been
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: waiting for years so long. I believe in the talent
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: that is IRV Smith. But yeah, I agree with Laqwan's points.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: You get a player on an offense that we know
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: could score a lot of points. It's just like, come on,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: if not now, then Whinner please please come.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: Through for us. Well, well, you know, last week he
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: had a touchdown, actually he had a touch on the
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Drew Sample also had a touchdown last week too, so
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: they're starting to integrate the tight ends a little bit more.
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: A very good matchup for tight ends this week for
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: the Bengals. So I do believe that you know, at
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: least if you're looking to stream the position, that this
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: is a good week to get him in there. And
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: also just wanted to say hashtag letters were That's how
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: I rolled it. Let's make that time over in Germany.
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: The cults are there. You mentioned you like Michael Pittman
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: as a start. Josh Downs, though, is dealing with a
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: knee injury is going to keep him out of action.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: So this is a chance to pivot to another rookie
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: in Jackson Smith in Jigba who starting to get some
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: more love in the Seattle offense. And this is a
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: very good week I think for Seattle pass catchers. They've
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: got the Washington Commanders, and that Commander defense has been
• 19:40
  Speaker 1: very generous to opposing passing games. It certainly doesn't hurt
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: for Seattle that they don't have to deal with Montes
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: sweat and Chase Young getting after Gino Smith a little bit.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: So I know, Florio, your bold prediction for NFL Fantasy
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: Live was that all three of their pass catchers have
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: at least fifteen Fantasy points. So plenty of upside there
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: this week. But the bigger picture, Lakwan, does this mean
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: we are back in the JSN business for the rest
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: of the season.
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: I know, I am. I mean things are starting to
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: click for him. I mean the last three games he
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: sold thirteen Fantasy points per game. That's something you want
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: to see from a rookie wide receiver to get the
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: production and be consistent in his offense. And I'm liking
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: Gino targeting him all over the field as well, because
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: he's one of those guys that could just take off
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: at any point and bring it to the house.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: All right, So we are big on Jackson Smith in JIGMA.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: So that's good news there. Let's go back around again
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: because Kirk Cousins, we know is out for the season
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: with the Achiles injury, which obviously it stinks for him,
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: it stinks for the Vikings, it stinks for fantasy. So
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of people probably trying to stream, trying to
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: plug and play. Who's a good option for this weekend?
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: Maybe beyond.
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: I like Baker Mayfield a whole lot this week, and
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: like MARKA said, maybe beyond, because Baker Mayfield this season
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: has had two games under sixteen Fantasy points. He's top
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: nineteen in each of his last two. As far as
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: streamers go, we're sixteen pretty much every week. Is as
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: safe of a floor as you could get. He has
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: shown there's some upside there, and the Titans are a
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: defense that we know can be beat by receivers, especially downfield,
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: and the Bucks have the receivers to do so, especially
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: they're that guy right there, Mike Evans. So I think
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield is a good play if you've been streaming Kirk,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: if you have to stream to replace Kirk Cousins or
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, Patrick Mahomes, Tua Jalen Hurts are all sidelined
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: this week because of buys. So a lot of people
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: need quarterbacks. Baker Mayfield is a name for you.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: There's so many streaming options this week. I mean, you've
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: got quarterbacks injured, You've got quarterbacks on by I mean,
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: how are we feeling about Bake Bake LQ? I mean,
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: or where where on the cycle of Baker Mayfield aren't
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: we like, well, was he gonna talk trash about it?
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know where we are the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: cycle right now.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: I just recently became a fan of Baker Mayfield, obviously
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: because he played for the Rams. He did some good
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: things and the hey, look, I was happy about that.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: But man, as long as he has the weapons around
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: him healthy with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, It's like I
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: kind of want to buy into Baker as a stream
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: guy that could plug and play, and like I just
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: lost Anne Jones. I picked up Baker in nice little
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: replacement in two quarterback leagues, but you have the weapons
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: around him. I think he's able to produce when he can,
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: especially with Mike Evans on that deep ball.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: I see. I think that's the thing for me too,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: is not only has he played well enough to be
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: in lineus, but he's elevated the guys around him too.
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Mike Evans is a thing. We're talking about streaming Kate
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: otten in leagues this week because Baker's getting them to
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: the ball. More tight end issue since we're talking about
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: streaming some tight ends there. Dallas Goddard going to be
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: out for what looks like a month with a fractured arm.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I see the name here, and it's like, like I
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: can't be mad at it right, Like I want to
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: be mad at it, but at some point we just
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: got to accept that this is what is. Like, why not.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: Pivot to another tight end who's a tight end one
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: for his team? And like John new Smith. I mean
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: it may be toxic right now, it is what it is,
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: but he's the second on the team room receptions and
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: receiving yards. He's top five in yards have to catch
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: among tight ends, Like as you see, he has the
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: big playability to take it to that house at any
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: point of the game. He's just clicking in this offense
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: right now. And surprisingly he's highly available to you on
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: the waiver wire, which I'm not quite sure why.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: I've been starting this guy since week four and been
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: flexing him. So he has the big playability like we
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: saw last week, So why not target yourself from John
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: new Smith?
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: I mean we just accepted this right Florida, that the
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: John news Smith is the tight end one in Atlanta.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and starting to send Hi an article this week,
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: I was like, what I want to happen? Doesn't score
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: fantasy points. So we got to John Smith and Taysom
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: Hill are the only tight ends in the NFL. They
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: get goal on carries.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, make zero sense whatsoever. It's like Marlow Stanfield said
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: in the wire, you wanted to be one way, but
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: it's the other way he wanted to be Kyle Pitts,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: it's John Newsmith. As we're wrapping it up, though, let's
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: talk some side ins because Darren Waller we know is
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: out with a hamstring injury. He is on injured reserve
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: and it's an easy pivot to Kate Oughton. We talked
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: about Baker Mayfield, talked about the Buccaneers offense, and Kate
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: otten is the guy who gets a lot of looks,
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: especially down near the goal line, and that's really what
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: we want from a streaming tight end. If you can
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: score a touchdown, did that makes you a viable tight
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: end one for the week. So Kate and the guy
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: you can get into some lineups. OK, see anything more
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: than a week to week streaming option. He's not really
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: a long term option.
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: Is I don't think he's a long term option. You
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: got guys that are banged up right now the tight
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: end position, so I like streaming him. Putting him in
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: you know positions where I have to, but I honestly
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: think he's like a relevant tight end to have on
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: your watch list or have stash, especially with these fantasy
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: playoffs coming up.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's maybe the big key there. The
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs are coming. If you're looking to stream tight ends,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: maybe start looking ahead to playoff schedules and see who
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: has a good one ready so you can't have to
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: get ready. There it is right there. We have been
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: ready for this show. Hopefully you were ready to enjoy
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: it because it's over now, so appreciate you. Hang it
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: out list that's gonna do it for this edition of
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the Startum Centum Show. For Michael left Florio, for the
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Kwan Jones, I am Marcus Grant. Enjoy Week ten. Everybody.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: We will talk to you again real soon. It
